Those of you who have followed me for a long time will know that I am increasingly questioning practices that have been in place for many years, because of the need to practice.

In a previous post, I wrote about why today’s way of managing is increasingly exhausting people and no longer works. I wrote about why the problem is no longer with the individual, but with the pattern. Inevitably, the question arises: what to do when the system doesn’t work?

The turn of the year is something that makes many people think about their plans, wishes and goals for the new year. After about 15 years of managing various sales and service units, I am no longer a big fan of goal setting in my personal life, as it often repeats the human-doing part instead

This is something many people have thought or said about managers who come back from management training and start behaving strangely. People can tell when a manager who’s been trained is going to use some kind of tool on them. People are not machines and managers should not use TOOLS on people. One of the
